5
6	Before Smithy smashed the Star Road, he used it to have his wish granted: that he could conquer the Mushroom World. His wish transformed the Mushroom World into an RPG World, suited for him to take over. When the Star Road was rebuilt, it created two branching reality: one negating the events of the game and branching into the 3D/Platform games, where Bowser remains agressively evil, and another where the events of Mario RPG did happen, which branches off into the rest of the RPG games, where Bowser is seen more as an annoyance than an outright king of evil.

8	[[WMG: This is the Final mario adventure chronologically]]
9
10	Either Bowser would stop kidnapping Peach out of gratitude for her help in retaking his castle, or more likely, would be smart enough to realize that both Mario AND Peach are strong enough to take out villains much more powerful than him.
11	* Bowser is Princess Kidnapping junky. Regardless of whatever gratitude he might have, he still relapses.
12
13	[[WMG: In this game, Mario is a [[http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=943738 Jumplomancer]]]]
14	He is capable of some truly epic leaps (it's possible, for example, to get 100 jumps in a row) that only do falling damage on the opponent and not himself; in the case of 100 jumps, this earns him a nifty item; in another, he convinces a terrified citizen of Mushroom Kingdom that he is indeed the legendary Mario by jumping.
15
16	[[WMG: That second Mario in Jonathan Jones's ship is actually a [[VideoGame/PaperMario Duplighost]].]]
17	He must've been spying on Mario from off-screen then decided to turn into him for kicks. He snuck off to that room off to the side, but Mario ended up walking in on him.
18
19	[[WMG: The "higher authority" that Geno answers to is the Star Spirits from [[VideoGame/PaperMario Paper Mario]].]]
20	When not in doll form, "Geno" (or whatever his name really is) appears as a small sparkling star. He's a grown "star" like the Star Spirits, and they're his superiors.
21	* It could even be [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Rosalina]].
22
23	[[WMG: Smithy is Robot Santa Claus from {{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}.]]
24	At some point in Futurama's relative future, Robot Santa is defeated and exiled to a limbo dimension. Swearing revenge, Robot Santa rebuilds himself into an even more powerful body, learns how to use magic ([[SufficientlyAdvancedTechnology or a close approximation of it]]) and builds a LivingWeapon factory. His first target is the Mushroom Kingdom/World, possibly because he thinks it'll be easy to conquer and convert into a proper base, but Mario and the gang manage to defeat him before he returns to full power. The personality traits match up: he's ill-tempered and a BadBoss, he seems to hate everyone else, and he destroys the Star Road since he thinks he's the only one who should be allowed to grant wishes.
25
26	[[WMG: Smithy is enraged out of loneliness]]
27	He appears from another dimension. A dimension that is nothing but a factory dedicated to making weapons, all handcrafted by Smithy himself. He is the god of this dimension. The smithy heads and other failed creations in his factory were his first attempts, to create other beings he can interact with. They were flawed, and eventually, Smithy became so enraged that he started making his creatures living weapons for the sole purpose of destroying things and set his sights on other worlds. And this all happens very shortly before the game, as a Shyster mentions, the factory was built a day before Mario and Co. arrive. In the dimension you run into duplicates of the member of the Smithy gang, that are apparently being mass produced. Since, in the actual game, you only run into one of each type, he probably staged the invasion before even creating much members of his army and was planning on sending more and more into the mario world, all out of a fit of anger.
28
29	[[WMG: Culex is either from VideoGame/TheSims or after his defeat with Mario, accidentally ended up in their universe]]
30	During the battle, Culex has four Crystals. The Wind Crystal looks extremely similar to the Green Crystal that controls the Sims. If the Crystals cannot function without Culex, maybe Culex is somewhere in the Sims universe controlling the people ... and you're actually playing as him!
31
32	[[WMG: Peach's ??? is [[EpilepticTrees a tractor]]]]
33
34	[[WMG: There will eventually be a sequel some time in the near future.]]
35
36	[[WMG: Nintendo will someday get around the Geno copyright issue by having him [[TheNthDoctor possess a different toy]]]]
37	I'm surprised nobody's thought of this already. His name & appearance are both borrowed so so have him use different ones in later games.
38	* That is an AWESOME idea!
39	* The only problem is that Mallow and most of the enemies are copyrighted to Square and not Nintendo.
40	** Nothing else from this game would have to appear in a future game for Geno to come back.
41	* And then there was ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
42
43	[[WMG: Alternatively, Nintendo already brought him back as the little [[VideoGame/RhythmHeaven Play-Yan/Night Walk]] guy]]
44	They're both associated with stars, and they haven't exactly addressed who the little guy is...
45
46	[[WMG: Count Down, the GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere in the final dungeon, is actually the Factory's timekeeper]]
47	And by destroying it, Mario and his team have destroyed the one thing that kept all of the factory's "employees" (all machines) doing things at the right time. Hence why it's one of the first bosses there; defeating it will disrupt all of the Factory's activities!
48
49	[[WMG: Geno is a Luma.]]
50
51	Geno's true form is Luma-shaped, and he says he was sent to Mushroom World by "a higher authority." (Rosalina) Also, the Luma language (that Luma speaks at the end of Super Mario Galaxy 2) seems to be written in the same alphabet as Geno's real name, ??!?
52	* Given that he refers to himself as a Star Spirit, it follows that ''all'' the Star Spirits of Star Road (seen in ''VideoGame/PaperMario'') are Lumas. Their special powers are due to extended exposure to the Star Rod.
53	** The Seven Star Spirits are the gods of Mario. The are charged with creating and destroying great things and protecting the universe as well as overseeing and granting wishes/prayers. The Star Children are born to become Star Spirits. The Lumas are part of the cosmos themselves. They are born from dust from old galaxies, become new galaxies, and die into dust (eg. Star Bits).
54	** That and Geno is from the Star Road which is the plane that leads to the Star Spirits.
55
56	[[WMG: Culex is the leader, or at least the most powerful, of the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Elemental Fiends]].]]
57	Culex's true form is a demon whose lower body is trapped in ice, a description which fits Satan's appearance in Dante's Inferno, where the other Fiends got their names, perfectly. This would imply some sort of command over the others. Also, he has the four Overworld Crystals from FFIV when you battle him, and the music played during his fight is from the same game. The reason he doesn't appear in that game is because Golbez banished him for being too lenient towards his enemies (in SMRPG, he actually allows Mario to turn back if the party is unprepared).
58	* Well, in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears''; we know that the Fiends were all sent by "the Creator" to ally with villains to affect the evolution of different Final Fantasy worlds with Crystals in them. "Vanda" was one of those worlds. Given how the success of the "Smithy Incident" lead to the creation of the ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' universe, he had a profound effect.
59
60	[[WMG: Mario and Co. didn't win against Smithy in ''Super Mario RPG''. Culex, knowing this would cause a time paradox, decided to rewind the events and change some of the characters.]]
61	Unfortunately, Mario and Co. were not strong enough to win against Smithy. Culex, being the God of the Mushroom Kingdom, knew if Smithy won, the End of Days would come about, so he temporarily froze time and space in order to fix up things. Changing the past, he erased the events of ''Super Mario RPG'' from ever happening, turned Smithy and all his subordinates and affiliates into Lumas, turned Mallow into Toad (at first he erased the original Toad's existence; however, he knew that Mallow, now Toad, would have no partner to breed with, so he created Toad again in the form of Toadette), Geno into Polari (the dusk-black, older Luma from ''Galaxy 1'') and eventually undid a branch in time and space, so in case the Apocalypse may happen in one world, the alternate future in another universe would prevent the heroes from being destroyed. Finally, he erased his memories and replaced them with new ones, turned himself into Rosalina. This is why ''Super Mario RPG'' is no longer acknowledged in canon; it never happened now.
62
63	[[WMG: ''Super Mario RPG'' is part of the ''{{Franchise/Kingdom Hearts}}'' universe, and Smithy accidentally (or not) set off a Heartless invasion by destroying the Star Road.]]
64	In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', the Star Road is [[PortalNetwork intricately connected]] to pretty much every part of the overworld, letting Mario [[SequenceBreaking travel vast distances quickly]] (even straight to Bowser's front door). Almost as if it's the [[CosmicKeystone heart]] of the Mushroom Kingdom, right? Well, in ''Kingdom Hearts'' cosmology, the hearts of worlds are represented as stars, and [[TheStarsAreGoingOut a star going out]] is a sign that a world has been taken by Darkness. We also see amorphous dark blobs in this game (and no other ''Mario'' game) which are called Shadows and are dead ringers for their heartless counterparts in ''KH''. What if destroying the Star Road allowed the Heartless to begin their own invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom concurrently with Smithy's? Fixing the Star Road might have bought the Mushroom Kingdom time, but with the heartless already having a foothold and no Keyblade wielders handy to repel them, it's only a matter of time before Mario and company have a bigger problem on their hands...
65
66	[[WMG: Hypothetical retranslations if Nintendo ever regains the rights from Square and remakes the game.]]

233	** Well, good news! The game is getting remade, so a majority of these may come true!
234	*** Confirmed; many enemies will indeed get their name updated.
235
236	[[WMG: Geno is Skolar of the Star Spirits from [[VideoGame/PaperMario Paper Mario]].]]
237	He's the third playable character to come along on the team in Mario RPG while being the third star spirit you save in Paper Mario. Meeting them both involves going through a forest maze, and they both have the most offensive attack in their respective game (Geno Whirl doing [[OneHitKill 9,999]] if timed well and Star Storm doing 7). Since he's a star spirit, all of Geno's attacks are star-themed, but Skolar is the only star spirit that's ever been known to use an offensive attack so far (the closest being Kalmar who can turn enemies into stars, but doing so doesn't reward you with star points). Star Storm itself could be a variation of Geno Blast.
238	* The one kink in this theory is Geno's claim to serve a "higher authority". The honorable Star Spirits of Paper Mario appear to be the highest authority of Star Haven, making it more likely that Geno (the Star) is subservient to the seven than one of the seven.
239	** Maybe he was promoted to Star Spirit for his part in recovering the Star Pieces.
240
241	[[WMG: "Peach's ???" is actually the switch that activates Peach's secret passage.]]
242	Mario can find "Peach's ???" in the same spot: to the right of the fireplace. The secret passage is, of course, top secret, and Peach's chambermaid quickly jumps in to intervene when Mario accidentally discovers it before he can piece together what it is.
243
244	[[WMG: Mallow deep, deep down recognizes the obvious hints that he's [[spoiler:the long-lost Nimbus Prince.]]]]
245	He's just too humbled by his life of being raised as a "tadpole" to wrap his mind around such a reality, so he's subconsciously convincing himself otherwise, like a WeirdnessCensor.
246
247	[[WMG:Valentina was the reason behind Mallow's disappearance.]]
248	She seems cruel enough to risk killing a baby by dropping them off a cloud and her whole plan was to gain control over the kingdom, so it's possible that, in order to ensure her plan went out without a hitch, she got rid of Mallow to stick her imposter on the throne.

251	[[folder: Nintendo Switch Remake]]
252	[[WMG:In the 2023 remake, there will be a new Final Boss or an extra boss added along with some gameplay changes]]
253	Similar to ''VideoGame/LiveALive'' with [[spoiler:Sin of Odio]], Mario RPG might receive a new boss in the remastered version since like ''Live A Live'', Mario RPG was made by Square along with having music by Yoko Shimomura which is receiving a remaster.
254	The gameplay changes will mostly be stat changes for balancing some characters along with better descriptions of what each attack does such as stating the element of each attack along with potential secondary effects.
255	** Jossed. While the gameplay has recieved changes, the final boss has no new phase added onto it.
256
257	[[WMG:In the 2023 Remake, Culex will be the only boss with no changes or an HD-2D style updated sprite.]]
258	To keep with the narrative and joke that 2D beings like him can't survive in a quasi-3D world like Mario's, Culex still retains his original 2D sprite to clash with the updated graphics further, or it gets an updated version in the style of the ''VideoGame/LiveALive'' HD-2D remake with higher detail and move animations.
259	** Confirmed; he uses his original sprites in the battle. [[spoiler: For the first fight against him that is.]]
260
261	[[WMG: The remake will incorporate newer gameplay elements of Mario RPG games.]]
262	For example; First Strikes, which have been a staple in ''every'' RPG of the franchise since; and a music player, an element that's more recent but no less consistent.
263
264	[[WMG: The Axem Rangers will get a Villain Song in the remake.]]
265	Similar to [[Anime/DragonBallZKai "Sanjou! Tokusentai!,"]] the Axem Rangers will got a boastful Toku-esque song that blares over their fight.
266	** Jossed. The Axem Rangers keep the same boss theme they had in the original.
267
268	[[WMG: There will be a few changes in the 2023 version]]
269	* Culex might appear in the remake or he'll be replaced with a different boss (such as Antasma) who could fulfil a similar gimmick. If Culex returns, his characterization will be based on the JP version rather than the US version.
270	* Luigi's role will be expanded from a cameo to full on [[OptionalPartyMember party member.]] Defeating Smithy with Luigi in the party instead of Mario nets you an alternate ending.
271	* Wario and Waluigi will get cameos, and Wario will not be replacing Booster despite their similar designs.
272	* There will be a boss rematch mode similar to VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory where you can refight stronger versions of story mode bosses with[[PaletteSwap new colour schemes]] and a secret boss at the end of the unlockable BossRush (by defeating all other bosses first)
273	** There may also be an option to refight all optional bosses complete with its own BossRush and potential secret boss.
274	** '''Confirmed''' with the post-game bosses against Belome, Punchinello, Booster, Bundt, Jonathan, and Jinx, with the secret boss being [[spoiler:3D Culex]].
275	* A new BonusDungeon will be added, requiring you to be at max level (the level cap has now been raised to Lv.99) and enemies that went unused in the original game and a {{Superboss}} who surpasses Culex in terms of difficulty. Culex himself will be made far more difficult than the SNES version to compensate for the redesigned level system.
276	* All characters now have several alternate costumes referencing other characters or palettes from other Nintendo games. These costumes are unlockable by engaging in optional side content.
277	** In addition each character will gain a new set of weapons and equipment that serves as an InfinityPlusOneSword for each party member.
278	* A NewGamePlus feature will be available after beating the game once or by defeating [[{{Superboss}} Culex]].
279	** If not that, then a possible "Hard Mode" that increases enemy stats to make them stronger while giving bosses new attacks.
280
281	* So far, a few things appear to be confirmed such as the possibility that Culex might still be there since the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfYfuAOKTxA&t=820s 14/09/23 Nintendo Direct]] trailer for Super Mario RPG does briefly show Mario using the Shiny Stone to open the sealed door in Monstro Town. In addition, post-game rematches are confirmed for some bosses (with footage shown for Booster, Punchinello and Johnny being shown) though their colours are unchanged, and Booster hasn't been replaced by Wario. Everything else is still up in the air.
282	** Culex is still a part of the remake, and he even keeps his original sprites as well, in addition his characerization being a blend of his US and JP versions. In addition, [[spoiler:he even gets a second fight where he's now 3D.]] Wario doesn't replace Booster, and while a BossRush doesn't exist, a few post-game rematches are unlocked after beating the game. There is no new BonusDungeon or alternate costume, and it's likely that NewGamePlus and Hard mode are jossed as well.
283
284	[[WMG: Each character will have a set of unlockable costumes in the remake.]]
285	Unless of course, the remake changes it so that the various pieces of equipment change each party member's model to resemble their official artwork.
286	* '''Mario''': [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong Classic Suit]],[[VideoGame/DrMario Doctor Mario]], [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario Colours]],[[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Metal Mario]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine Sunshine Outfit]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey wedding suit]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder Elephant Mario]] and SNES Sprites.
287	* '''Luigi''': [[VideoGame/MarioBros Mario Bros]], [[VideoGame/MarioTennis Waluigi Colours]], [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Mr L]], [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion3 Gooigi]] and [[{{Retraux}} SNES Sprites]].
288	* '''Peach''' [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 NES Colours]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand Princess Daisy]], [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Shadow Queen]],[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Princess Rosalina]], [[VideoGame/MarioKart8 Pink Gold Peach]], [[VideoGame/PrincessPeachShowtime musketeer]] and SNES Sprites.
289	* '''Bowser''': [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Classic Colours]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels Bowser's Brother]], [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros Dry Bowser]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Dark Bowser]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Wedding Suit]], [[VideoGame/BowsersFury Fury Bowser]], and SNES Sprites
290	* '''Geno''': [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Super Cape]], [[VideoGame/MarioParty3 Millennium Star]],[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Fawful]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Dark Fawful]],[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam Antasma]] and SNES Sprites
291	* '''Mallow''': [[VideoGame/PaperMario64 Huff 'N' Puff]], [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros Lakithunder]], [[VideoGame/MarioKartWii Thunder Cloud]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Stonk]], [[VideoGame/MarioKartTour Sunset Cloud]] and SNES Sprites.
292	** Sadly jossed, none of the characters get alternate unlockable costumes.
293
294	[[WMG: Culex won't be the only {{Superboss}} in the remake]]
295	Though the game has several optional bosses already with Culex being the {{Superboss}} to top them all, it's always interesting to consider how Final Fantasy games are known for adding new superbosses to their remakes and that VideoGame/LiveALive got a new TrueFinalBoss to cap off the Switch remake. Perhaps it's possible that several new superbosses will be added to give the player some new content as an incentive. Here are a few possible guesses as to what kind of superbosses could be added to the remake:
296	* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] (due to his appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' connecting him to the Mario Bros.)
297	* [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Dark Star]] (due to ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'' mentioning him being sealed away by the Star Sprites, which could be related to the higher authority that Geno follows)
298	* [[VideoGame/MarioParty3 Millennium Star]] (An esoteric choice due to him appearing in only one Mario Party game.)
299	* [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong Donkey Kong]] (The oldest rival of Mario's and again, an esoteric and unexpected choice).
300	* Evil versions of each party member such as [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine Shadow Mario]], [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Shadow Queen ]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Dark Bowser]] and evil versions of Geno (referencing [[https://www.mariowiki.com/Geno#/media/File:GenoConcept1.png this concept art]]) and Mallow (resembling [[https://www.mariowiki.com/Mokura Mokura]]). (Unlikely but if they did, could guard new [[InfinityPlusOneSword weapons and equipment for each character]].
301	** A prototype version of Smithy that resembles his final form or might be just a PaletteSwap who uses the strongest skills in the game.
302	* Seems to be confirmed, as a new "Extra-Shiny Stone" counterpart to the Shiny Stone used to open the door to Culex has been added. However, it only unlocks a [[spoiler: rematch with Culex who is now 3D and is much stronger.]] The other guesses have all been jossed.
303
304	[[WMG: Geno will have a connection to Rosalina]]
305	But since the game takes place before Galaxy, Geno will remark that Peach looks a lot like his mother or the higher authority he serves.
306
307	[[WMG: The EasterEgg of Mario turning into his 8-Bit sprite from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' will be changed to him turning into his sprite from the original ''Super Mario RPG'' game.]]
308	It would make a great MythologyGag.
309	* Jossed; it still uses his 8-bit sprite.
310
311	[[WMG: The game will feature [[SuddenlyVoiced full voice acting]].]]
312	In the trailer, several cutscenes from the original game are shown, but they mysteriously lack textboxes. This likely means the game will feature full voice acting similar to the ''VideoGame/LiveALive'' remake. It helps that ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder'' seems to feature full voice acting for the Talking Flowers.
313	* These cutscenes are based on scenes that didn't have dialogue, so these may very well be [[MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon mime and music only]]. Besides, Wonder '''only''' had the Talking Flowers be fully voiced and no one else. Voice acting for any other characters might still be a stretch. However, it isn't off the table that we'll hear what RPG's original characters sound like via VoiceGrunting since Bowser audibly laughed in a Japanese overview trailer.
314
315	[[WMG: Like ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'', the SNES music option will introduce {{Retraux}} renditions of new music tracks not present in the original game.]]
316
317	[[WMG: The sword's name is still Mack, Claymorton is the red guy on top]]
318
319	[[WMG: Jinx's triple move would consist of himself, Jagger, and...]]
320	In the postgame rematch, Jinx wants to learn how Triple Moves work from Mario and co and gain inspiration after witnessing one in action. There's only one problem -- Jinx and Jagger are still two members and they need a third. Who would it be?
321	* Jonathan Jones: To fit with the J theme. The Triple Move would be called "The J-team"
322	* Culex: The other optional superboss in Monstro Town.
